Chikalata Chokhudza Zoopsa Zachilengedwe Kuchokera ku Ntchito za Shadow Fleet m'madzi a ku Caribbean

CHOLENGEZA MUNKHANI kuchokera ku The Ocean Foundation
Kuti mumasulidwe mwachangu: 18 December 2025

WASHINGTON, DC – Bungwe la Ocean Foundation likuyang'anira ndi nkhawa kayendedwe ka sitima yapamadzi ya HYPERION (IMO 9322968) kudzera m'madzi a ku Caribbean popita ku madoko aku Venezuela. Monga bungwe lodzipereka ku thanzi la nyanja ndi kuteteza chilengedwe cha m'nyanja, tikuwona kuti sitimayi ikuwonetsa zoopsa zachilengedwe zomwe zimabwera chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwa ndege zankhondo zapadziko lonse lapansi zomwe zikukula.

Hyperion imapereka zinthu zingapo zomwe zimawonjezera chiopsezo cha chilengedwe:

Zaka za Chombo: Yomangidwa mu 2006, HYPERION ili ndi zaka 19—yomwe ikuyandikira malire apamwamba a moyo wotetezeka wa sitima zamafuta komanso yoposa muyezo wa mafakitale a sitima zomwe zili m'malo oyendera anthu ofunikira.

Mbiri ya Boma la Mbendera: Sitimayo yasintha kangapo kulembetsa mbendera (Barbados, Comoro Islands, ndi tsopano Gambia), zomwe zikugwirizana ndi kuchepa kwa malamulo oyang'anira ndi kugawa miyezo.

Mkhalidwe wa Inshuwalansi: Zombo zomwe zaloledwa m'malo osiyanasiyana nthawi zambiri zimakhala zopanda chitetezo chokwanira ndi chitetezo (P&I) kudzera m'mabungwe a International Group, zomwe zikutanthauza kuti kuwonongeka kulikonse kwa chilengedwe kungapangitse mayiko a m'mphepete mwa nyanja kuti alipire ndalama zoyeretsera.

Kuwonekera kwa Zachilengedwe: Nyanja ya Caribbean ili ndi malo ofunikira kwambiri m'nyanja, kuphatikizapo miyala yamchere ya coral, malo okhala udzu wa m'nyanja, ndi usodzi wa m'mphepete mwa nyanja womwe umathandiza anthu mamiliyoni ambiri m'dera lonselo.

Vuto la Zachilengedwe la Shadow Fleet

Ulendowu ukuchitika panthawi ya vuto lalikulu padziko lonse lapansi la ndege za mthunzi. Popeza sitima zopitilira 700 zikukalamba komanso zosasamalidwa bwino tsopano zikugwira ntchito kunja kwa malamulo apadziko lonse lapansi—zomwe zikuyimira pafupifupi 17% ya sitima zonse zapadziko lonse lapansi—chiwopsezo cha zochitika zazikulu zachilengedwe chafika pamlingo wosayerekezeka. Kuyambira mu 2021, kuyang'anira ma satellite kwalemba za kutayikira kwa mafuta osachepera asanu ndi anayi komwe kumalumikizidwa ndi sitima za mthunzi, kuchokera ku Thailand kupita ku Scotland.

Ngozi yaposachedwa ya chilengedwe ku Black Sea, komwe sitima zapamadzi zonyamula mafuta zinawononga zachilengedwe zokwana madola 14 biliyoni, ikusonyeza kuti zoopsazi sizongopeka. Funso silili ngati ngozi yaikulu ku Caribbean idzachitika, koma liti—ndipo ndani adzanyamula ndalama zokhudzana ndi chilengedwe ndi zachuma.

Kusiyana Kofunika Kwambiri: Kutha Kuyankha Kutayika kwa Mafuta M'madera

Chodetsa nkhawa kwambiri ndi kusowa kwa njira zokwanira zochepetsera kutayikira kwa mafuta ndi njira zothanirana ndi kutayika kwa mafuta m'dera lonse la Caribbean. Mosiyana ndi madzi aku Europe, komwe European Maritime Safety Agency imayang'anira zombo 20 zoyankhira kuipitsa mpweya komanso kuyang'anira ma satellite kudzera muutumiki wake wa CleanSeaNet, mayiko aku Caribbean ndi Latin America omwe ali m'mphepete mwa nyanja akukumana ndi mipata yayikulu mu zomangamanga zoyankhira, kukonza zida, komanso kukonzekera bwino zadzidzidzi.

Kutayikira kwakukulu m'madzi amenewa kungawononge mphamvu zomwe zilipo kale zoyankhira. Mayiko ambiri a pachilumba cha Caribbean alibe zida zapadera, antchito ophunzitsidwa bwino, komanso ndalama zothandizira kuti agwire bwino ntchito yothana ndi ngozi yaikulu ya sitima yapamadzi. Malo ofalikira a chigawochi amawonjezera kusokonekera kwa mgwirizano, ndipo kusowa kwa mapangano olimba okhudza madera kumatanthauza kuti nthawi yamtengo wapatali ingatayike m'maola oyambirira a ngozi iliyonse—kwenikweni pamene zoyesayesa zoletsa ngozizo zikugwira ntchito bwino kwambiri.

Kusiyana kwa inshuwalansi kumawonjezera kufooka kumeneku. Pamene sitima zankhondo za mthunzi sizikulandira chithandizo chokwanira cha P&I, palibe njira yopezera ndalama zothandizira anthu mwachangu. Mayiko a m'mphepete mwa nyanja angakakamizike kusankha pakati pa kuchita ntchito yoyeretsa yokwera mtengo popanda kutsimikiza kuti ndalama zake zibwezedwe kapena kuyang'anira mafuta akutsukidwa m'mphepete mwa nyanja ndi m'nkhalango za mangrove, m'malo osungira udzu wa m'nyanja, ndi m'matanthwe a m'nyanja.

Udindo Wathu

Bungwe la Ocean Foundation silitenga mbali pa mfundo zoletsa ziletso, zomwe zimaphatikizapo kuganizira zinthu zovuta zokhudza ndale zomwe sizili pa luso lathu. Komabe, tikuda nkhawa kwambiri ndi momwe ntchito za sitima za mthunzi zimakhudzira chilengedwe, zomwe sizinalandire chisamaliro chokwanira kuchokera kwa opanga mfundo komanso anthu osamalira zachilengedwe.

Tikupempha kuti:

1. Kuwunika Zoopsa Zachilengedwe: Akuluakulu a za m'nyanja ayenera kuchita kafukufuku wokhudza zoopsa zachilengedwe za zombo zakale zomwe zikugwira ntchito m'malo ovuta a m'nyanja.

2. Kutsimikizira Inshuwalansi: Mayiko a m'mphepete mwa nyanja ayenera kufunsa kuti atsimikizire kuti ali ndi chitetezo chokwanira pazachilengedwe asanalole kuti anthu adutse m'madzi awo.

3. Kulimbikitsa Kuyankha Mwachangu kwa M'madera: Kufunika ndalama mwachangu pokonza njira zothetsera kutayikira kwa mafuta ku Caribbean, kuphatikizapo kukonza zida, kuphunzitsa antchito, komanso njira zogwirizanitsa madera.

4. Kuwunika Moyenera: Njira zowunikira bwino za satelayiti komanso machenjezo oyambirira ziyenera kuyikidwa m'malo otsetsereka a panyanja omwe ali pachiwopsezo chachikulu m'chigawo chonsecho.

5. Kugwirizana kwa Mayiko Onse: Ndondomeko yogwirizana yapadziko lonse yothanirana ndi mavuto achilengedwe ikufunika kuti ithetse mavuto omwe amapitilira malire achikhalidwe okakamiza.

Ntchito Yathu: Cholinga cha Cholowa cha Nyanja ndi Kuyankha kwa Oyang'anira Nyanja

Bungwe la Ocean Foundation likugwira ntchito mwakhama kuti lithetse mavutowa kudzera mu Ocean Heritage InitiativeNtchito yathu yokhudza Potentially Polluting Wrecks yawonetsa kuti kuwunika mwachangu komanso kuchitapo kanthu ndikotsika mtengo kwambiri kuposa kuyeretsa kochitapo kanthu—ndipo kuti anthu apadziko lonse lapansi akhoza kupanga njira zothandiza zothetsera mavuto owononga nyanja masoka asanachitike.

kudzera Project Tangaroa, yomwe idapangidwa mogwirizana ndi Lloyd's Register Foundation ndi Waves Group, tayambitsa njira zowunikira ndikuyika patsogolo kulowererapo pa zombo zomwe zimayambitsa zoopsa zachilengedwe. Ntchitoyi yawulula kuti mfundo zomwezo—kuwunika zoopsa mwadongosolo, kulumikizana kwapadziko lonse lapansi, kuyang'anira mwachangu, ndi mphamvu yoyankhira yomwe yakhazikitsidwa kale—ndizofunikira pothana ndi chiopsezo cha gulu lankhondo la mthunzi.

Tsopano tikupanga njira yothana ndi vuto la Ocean Sentinel Response kuti tiwonjezere njira izi pamavuto a shadow fleet. Cholinga cha njira imeneyi ndi kudzaza mpata wofunikira mu utsogoleri woteteza zachilengedwe pa chiwopsezo chomwe chikubwerachi, kupereka mayankho a mfundo zochokera ku sayansi komanso thandizo laukadaulo ku mayiko a m'mphepete mwa nyanja omwe alibe ndalama zothanirana ndi zoopsazi okha.

Vuto la ndege za mthunzi silingathe lokha. Popanda kuchitapo kanthu mwachangu, ndalama zomwe zimawononga chilengedwe zidzalipidwa ndi madera a m'mphepete mwa nyanja ndi zachilengedwe za m'nyanja zomwe sizinachitepo kanthu pa kuyambitsa vutoli. Nyanja imayenera mayankho abwino kuposa omwe amabwera chifukwa cha mavuto pa masoka achilengedwe omwe angapewedwe.
